12 American Detective Stories Anthology (1997) by Edward D. Hoch (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.63Mb
Overview: ‘. . .there came a sound of fluttering from behind the panels against which he had laid his ear, and finally a choked voice uttering unintelligible words. Then a hand began to struggle with the lock, and the door, slowly opening, disclosed a woman clad in a hastily donned wrapper and giving every evidence of extreme fright.’
Murder, kidnapping, and theft are the principal crimes committed in these twelve American detective stories. The victim may be an innocent baby or a doublecrossing mobster, the setting a department store or death cell at the state prison, but the detectives intellectual or intuitive powers must be unfailing, whether the important clue is a single bullet or a tiny splinter of wood.
